What is the area bounded by the curves, the lines x = 0 and x = 1 ?

For the next two (02) items that follow : Consider the curves \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = 2|x| \).

  1. A. 1 square unit
  2. B. \frac{2}{3} square unit
  3. C. \frac{1}{2} square unit
  4. D. \frac{1}{3} square unit

Correct Answer: B. \frac{2}{3} square unit

Explanation

In the interval, \( 2|x| = 2x \) and it lies above \( x^2 \). The required area is \( \int_0^1 (2x - x^2) dx = \left[x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^1 = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \) square units.
